Face Killing Giants Club In 2022 World Cup Play-off Final, Ronaldo: I Want The Fans To Make Hell At Dragao
JAKARTA - Portugal's star player, Cristiano Ronaldo excitedly called on supporters to come and fill Porto's Dragao Stadium on Wednesday, March 30.
This was conveyed by Ronaldo because on that day Portugal will face North Macedonia, which is known as a giant team killer club. The two nations will face off in a play-off match for a place in the 2022 World Cup finals.
"I urge the fans: I want all the corners to be filled and the fans to create a hellish atmosphere in Dragao," Ronaldo said.
Ronaldo wants the presence of the fans to be full support without stopping for the team when competing. He also wanted the crowd to make noise throughout the stadium with their support for Portugal in order to suppress the opposing team's mentality.
"I went to bed last night imagining I wanted the stadium to turn off the music for our national anthem and let the fans sing it a cappella to lift our spirits, our strength and our unity to reach the World Cup," he continued.
"If our supporters can show that way they can put pressure on the opposing team and we will win later," said the star.
North Macedonia have earned the nickname of the giant killer club because of their unpredictable performances. How not, last week this team managed to make a big surprise.
When faced with Italy, they were able to secure a 1-0 victory where the result automatically eliminated Gli Azzurri, who have won the World Cup four times.
North Macedonia's scary record over Italy made Ronaldo a little nervous. Not wanting Portugal to have the same fate as Italy, the star did not hesitate to ask for the maximum support that Portuguese fans could give.
